Tom and Fred spent Father’s Day out fishing and cleaned their catch with an ebony handled filet knife and scaled the fish with the bait cutting knife Tom uses as his personal knife, which is a vinegar patina 1095 blade with redwood burl and mosaic pins. Happy fathers day to us!!

I’m so excited to be part of #CapeCodBeerFarmersMarket ! We’ll be there May 27 from 3-6…live music with Johnny Fonasaro, cold beer (or wine) in the beer garden, cornhole, hotdog truck – fun!

Cape Cod Cutlery is pleased to announce a new partnership with T. F. Woodcraft. This local business based out of Rochester, MA produced high quality beautiful woodwork utilizing repurposed wood remnants from manufacturing.

While T. F. Woodcraft creates many different products, the natural pairing for us at Cape Cod Cutlery are their stunning cutting boards and wooden kitchen utensils. Look for these products at our table at the next Cape Cod Beer Farmer’s Market.

Did you know that many of our knives are made from old, repurposed files? The metal in files happens to be very high quality high carbon steel. We shape them and forge them and give them a new life. Sometimes leaving the filemarks on the face of the blade can add an interesting aesthetic dimension.

Most of these old files are close to a hundred years old or more and are sitting around in basements and garages and farmhouses. Have an old file laying around the house and want a custom built knife from a tool that may have been used by your grandparents? We can give it a new purpose.

About 95% of the wood we use in our knife handles is small wood off-cuts from Southeastern New England woodworkers that would otherwise be burned or tossed out as scrap. We have developed relationships with several professional woodworkers to pick up their scrap pieces on a regular basis.

This knife was made from an old farrier rasp (horseshoe file). The wooden handle was repurposed from thin strips of cocobolo left over from a manufacturing process.
